Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Chapter Two Summary: Up to date to this post. I try to keep the summary on the first page up to date. If I don't, yell at me.

:
Earth:
1) Around the candlelight vigil: Andrelia, Casidy

Other World:
1) Regent's Palace: Cyrus
2) Ruthbar - Town 1 Where Shaco is rumored to be:
- Tavern: Muko
- In the Streets: Neo, Ari, Xaldin(?), Shaco
- In Leonardo's view: Leonardo, Ezio, Celeste, Troa
- Some Tavern: Clad, Genya
- In a dead man's house: Rugalia, Lunia
3) Rebel Outpost near Onicann- Town 2 with the Sports Tournament: Alister, Noise, Rine


Ezio, Genya, Celeste, Lunia, and Troa get warped to the Other World as Genya sneezes in the middle of a chorus at the candlelight vigil and fall from the sky into the middle of Leo/Shaco/Clad/Rugalia battle. Xaldin calls them heroes, but no one knows what he's talking about. One of Troa's split personalities(Vince) takes over and maims people, but gets knocked out when Troa hits himself in the head. Celeste is shocked at what Troa is doing. Leonardo reprimands Troa and looks at the two, trying to calm Celeste. Rugalia carries Lunia to the house of the man that was killed by Shaco after she sends a shockwave that freaked everyone out. Shaco's still doing his thing, but may have retreated. Clad runs off with an unconscious Genya, who ran into a wall, and wakes him up with strong alcohol in the face. Muko woke up to screaming red clowns and left the tavern he was in.

Back at the candlelight vigil on Earth, Andrelia notices something is wrong and Lunia's disappearance and goes to take Casidy out of the area.

Meanwhile in Onicann on the Other World, Alister, Polom, and Noise break out the two rebels caught in the jail and return to a rebel outpost through a barn. Unknown to them, Rine has snuck in and is waiting for whoever shows up.))

((Other World - Genya))

The thing with weird ears and clothes and chains and ...lots of weird things... laughed, and Genya blinked, his mouth open. "...not a dream?" the blonde graduate student stammered. That didn't make sense. Nothing made sense. It could still be a dream. The science student stared at the ratty piece of cloth that Clad offered him. Is that even sterile? How many microbes and bacteria are on that thing? After more thoughts of biological organisms, infections, and what not, Genya finally remembered his manners. But there was no way he would be touching that thing. "Ummm, thanks, I'm fine..." He quickly wiped his face with his sleeve, taking off his glasses momentarily and wiping them off with his shirt as well. Now there were some nice brown stains on his dress shirt. He could have wiped it on his tie and it would have been less noticeable, but that hadn't really been something he was thinking about. Genya was still kind of in shock, and this creature thing was speaking strangely. An accent. That was all, right? But everything in front of Genya seemed to defy logic. It looked like time had reversed. For all he knew, it could have been a Lord of the Rings time frame, whenever that was. Not Earth in modern times.

"Sky? Fall?" Genya felt his face go red as he tried to think. "Umm..." He didn't remember falling. Maybe he just needed reminders. He did remember a candlelight vigil and a sneeze. Uh... I didn't fall asleep at the vigil, did I? That would be immensely rude... I sneezed really loudly.... "Umm.... what species are you , and uh, where is this?"

Rugalia stopped in his tracks, and appeared to temporarily lose all determination to leave for a moment. He turned to face her, a big smile on his face, and slapped himself in the forehead, "Of course! How could I forget?!" He leaned down onto one knee, her hand still in his, as if he was proposing, and looked up her, "My name is Rugalia. Rugalia Tousa, to be exact." He looked down at her hand, his smile unfading, and kissed it gently, "Very pleased to make your acquaintance." He looked back up at her, his big, dumb smile even bigger and dumber, "Might the beautiful maiden have a name as well?" He inquired, still in the same position, her hand still in his. He was certainly acting like himself once again; apparently, not even a murder scene deters him from wooing women for very long.

Alister took a moment before he grasped the unknown hello, he lifted his head to see where it came from, it came from a girl, Alister stood up and took a step forward, he stopped to think a moment about if he'd seen that face before, after a few seconds it clicked, the girl wasn't part of the resistence, and she had some how of snuck into the hideout.

Alister made fists, he would have thought about running for his weapon but she might of had time to act, depending on what her motives are, in any case Alister wasn't one to underestimate, "I'd prefer it if you had knocked" he took a moment to watch the girl in black "who are you and what do you want?" something about this girl seemed familiar.

((Other World - Cyrus - For those of you that celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas! For those of you that don't, Merry Christmas anyway!))

The Regent closed the book he was reading lines of and carefully placed it back in the hidden alcove before it locked and sealed, disappearing seemingly from existence. This rest that he had agreed to take wasn't being very restful. Cyrus knew he needed the rest though. The blonde king shook his head and sighed. Perhaps, a walk would clear his head. He tossed on the usual royal adornments and cloak and walked out of his chambers without the scepter.

As he walked slowly in thought through the hallways, he noticed a ninja woman with long black hair. "Lady Morrigan," he said with a small smile. "I trust you are doing well today?" Actually, this would be good for information gathering, Cyrus thought, as he realized a task that Morrigan could do rather well. "I'm sure you have heard of the DMage Researcher..."

((Other World - Cyrus - Oops, Solaris. My mistake. ))

Cyrus nodded at Morrigan's response, noting the cat's reactions, but not being able to hear the conversations between Morrigan and her sisters. "The information will help in the long term regarding you and your sisters' situation." The Regent had not broken any promises yet. "The researcher's name is Neo Spades. He is... a character... one who has devoted his life to the workings of the DMage Sword. I would like you to scout and find out all you can about him and his research."The reason why Cyrus had not ordered for Neo to be brought in and questioned blatantly was because that method of approach sometimes backfired. "Be careful. Sir Spades has strange habits with women." Neo Spades seemed to not have a great reputation when it came to women, and Cyrus didn't want Morrigan getting into that type of trouble. "He is in the Ruthbar area."

Rugalia had received quite a few negative responses to his advances in the past, but this was by far the worse. Not only did he confuse, upset, discomfort, and worry Lunia, he managed to make her cry as well. He slowly got up, listening to her words. Nobody's ever been this nice to her? Exactly where in the sky is she from?! He frowned and nodded, "No, no need to apologize. I should be the one apologizing, I had no idea..." He seemed to be at a loss for words. He took a few moments to gather his thoughts, and continued speaking, "I don't know where your from, but I have no idea why anyone would hate or make fun of you. It doesn't make any sense; you seem like a fine young woman to me..." He shook his head, "I'm sorry... but, I think we should get out of here before one of us ends up dead." As soon as he finished his sentence, a confused combatant charged towards them. Rugalia almost stabbed him in the heart, but didn't want to frighten Lunia; as such, he simply bashed the man on the head with the blunt side of his longsword. Luckily, the man wasn't well equipped, had no helmet, and possessed little skill. He turned to Lunia, smiling sadly, and softly said, "I'll make it up to you somehow, I promise. Now let's get out of here."
